Default Re: Good mpg!

I drove from Arizona to California last weekend. With the air on, speed control set at 80 MPH, I was getting about 15.5 bucking a pretty good head wind. Once I got out of the Arizona wind, same speed etc the mileage went to 17.5. I will have to try the traction control/stability turn off as others have suggested. Does this help on the freeway without stop and go or just around town driving? The truck only had 500 miles on it at the start of the trip.
And guess what, the cam didn't break, tranny didn't fail, wasn't any more bumpy on Kalifornia freeways than other rigs, didn't shimmy and blew off a smart a$$ in a 5.7 Hemi 1500.
I love this truck
